Description
Rina Tennoji is a first-year Nijigasaki High School student with shoulder-length pink hair, yellow eyes, and a height of 149 cm. Her blood type is B, and her Scorpio birthday falls on November 13. She struggles to convey emotions facially, frequently appearing expressionless. To communicate feelings, she uses the "Rina-chan Board," a sketchbook for drawing emotive faces. This tool proved indispensable for interactions and later evolved into the hands-free "Auto Emotion Convert Rina-chan Board" for performances.
A fellow student invited Rina to become a school idol alongside Ayumu Uehara and Ai Miyashita. At Famitsu App, Ayumu and Ai’s encouragement helped her participate in group activities. Initially nervous in social situations with limited conversation experience, she grew to enjoy interacting with diverse people through this work. She admired Ai’s confidence and friendliness as qualities to emulate.
Her hobbies and skills focus on technology and creation. She excels in science and mathematics but finds Japanese challenging. She develops apps, operates gadgets like quadcopters, and enjoys arcade and video games. She owns a pet robot cat named Aran and cares for Hanpen, a stray cat found on school grounds. Named after its favorite food (fish cake), Hanpen became an unofficial school pet through Rina’s attention.
As center of the school idol subunit QU4RTZ, Rina aims to make audiences smile through performances, hoping this effort will eventually allow her to express a genuine smile naturally. She acknowledges the Rina-chan Board as her unique trait but aspires to connect more directly, such as via future handshake events. Her development includes gradual efforts to communicate openly with friends and supporters. Monthly ranking achievements—like first or second place—fueled her determination to improve, though high rankings sometimes brought unexpected frustration, signaling personal growth.
In later bond episodes, she revealed her uncovered face to the student who initially invited her to become an idol, marking significant progress in overcoming shyness. She maintains the dream of smiling naturally alongside everyone supporting her.
